As a general rule the more exceptional people you have around your business the more successful you are likely to be. Sally is simply that - exceptional at what she does. She brought a complex skill set to the task, part technical, but more importantly an integrity and personability that immediately put everyone at Greystone at ease.

I have been lucky enough to work with Sally on a variety of projects over nearly twenty years and she is one of the most exciting and inspiring people I have known. Her own creativity is as fresh and prolific today as when I first met her and I have benefitted enormously from her talent for inspiring creativity in others. Passionate about the latest ideas, the concept of compromise doesn’t exist for Sally; her eye for style is second to none and she is always looking for that unique ‘something’ to differentiate her client from the field.

As well as being very professional and great fun to work with, here are five things about Sally which ‘wow’ me: 1. Her journalistic instinct for those messages which audiences respond to on a human level, even in an unfamiliar sector. 2. Her blending of original and; curated content to build credibility and trust with the market. 3. A campaign approach which creates both clarity and a cadence for making things happen. 4. An attention to detail which produces minimal re-work & approval loops. 5. An ability to write in different voices to give even a small company a richer personality.

Sally came to PH Media Group brimming with ideas on how we could improve the company's PR activity. She is obviously an expert in her a field and it was incredibly useful and inspiring to have her come and chat to the team.

Sally’s depth of knowledge is immense. This is someone who has her finger literally on the pulse. Very supportive, innovative and honest (sometimes blatantly) which makes her the true professional she is.

Welcome

Your BRAND is so much more than your logo, the colours you choose, or the fonts you use. Brand is not simply a marketing concept, or purely about your communications, it is very much a management issue. Your brand should be driven by your business strategy, your products and services, your culture, your people, and be powerful enough to claim your space in the marketplace.

Your brand should be confident enough to deliver your whole reputation through your active voice, your language, the stories you tell, along with the images and film that complement your message and help communicate it to the World.

So what does your brand say about you?

I can inject passion, enthusiasm and excitement into your thinking, find solutions and help you meet your challenges head on.

...I can only describe what I got back as first class in every respect. I suppose the ultimate acid test of any service provider is 'Would I buy again?' I have; Sally is one of my Go-To people for advice!

This is the same for all of us who work solo, or need to buy in expertise as an in-house marketer, and so here are my five top tips on how to choose those successful partnerships.
